As the Arcosanti project grows
in size and scope, there are opportunities to develop partnerships
for projects related to the intelligent use of resources and
energy. We are constantly looking for ways to improve upon
our current plans and construction techniques in order to
be more responsible consumers.
It is in our best interest
to collaborate with individuals and companies geared toward
these types of projects, and combine our efforts and resources
toward a common goal. Arcosanti is an ideal site for the
experimentation
and demonstration of alternative energy projects. Waste Treatment
Our current Solar Oxdation Pond has reached its capacity,
we are exploring various waste treament methods for our future
needs. 'Living Machine System' is one of those possible alternatives.
Amphitheater
Canopy
As the East Cresccent project progresses a permanent canopy
for the amphitheater is planned and requiring substantial
resources to cover entire 1,000-seat open-air theater. We
are seeking new materials and structural system.
SolArco
Energy Plant
Although
we primarily rely on Passive Solar Heating,
our dependence on electricity via utility
grid
increases as our project grows. We hope that solar alternative
energy production is our future. Arcosanti is an ideal demo
site for Solar-Thermo-Electric-Genset units.
